During the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Boxing competition will be held at ExCeL, which is currently being used as the Games Maker selection centre. Let's hope it will be the scene of more British boxing success stories – here are a few others. 

In the Beijing 2008 Games, Bakhtiyar Artayev of Kazakhstan (red) fought James Degale of Great Britain (blue) in the men's middleweight (75kg) quarter-final. Degale won and went on to win gold in the final, following in the footsteps of previous British boxing heroes.

Sixty years before, Giacomo de Segni of Italy takes a left-handed punch from Donald Scott of Great Britain during the light-heavyweight quarter-final match. Donald Scott later went on to win the silver medal – talk about packing a punch!
